20 Year Celebration - 2002 GF Rematch SYDNEY ROOSTERS v NZ WARRIORS

[Tommy Smith]

Mick Crocker is the only one I can't see in the pic.

Great team. That 8 or so game winning streak is as fun as any period I can recall as a Roosters fan.

The way we hammered Cronulla in back to back weeks. Freddy mocking Peachey with the put down just inside the dead ball like after the intercept at Shark Park. A super confident footy team.

Very special memories.

Michael Crocker doesn't appear in the Picture but there is someone behind Ricko who is obscured- they are wearing white joggers - left side of Jason Cayless when looking at the picture - who is the person standing between David Kidwell and Adrian Morley- behind Luke Phillips and Anthony Minichiello

John Cartwright and Dean Pay missing as well from the Coaching Staff

Agree on everything Zac except I'd have Flannery ahead of Watson as the 14.

fair call - flanno was very versatile and watson hasn't made his mark yet. i reckon when the team settles down watson will kill it at 14. also walker and suaalii might be pushing for this sort of team in a few years.

Where's Cords?

Never mind. The team is from 2002 and the current squad. I thought it was from all our GF winning squads!

He's just a random who was coming back from the bar who went & stood with the team.
Are Brett Mullins & Joe Kelly twins?

Maybe Brett Mullins for Toups but I would still go Toups?
Maybe Cusack or Cayless for SST. Cayless turned out to be a better player than what I thought he would be.

[Mickie Lane]

I didnt go to the 2002 GF.
Its hard to find 2002 Roosters memorabilia eg stickers, GF Big League or GF Rugby League week.
I have both the 2002 GF Big League & GF Rugby League week they both cost me 20 times the original price.

He is no random person from the bar. The person in question who Salvo questioned is Boofa Johnston who has been a staff member for years. He is a Bondi United legend.

I knew that I was just geeing the King up.

Bobby “ Boofa “Johnston - he was part of coach Stuart’s staff and has been associated with Easts for over 50 years. A Bondi United legend every much as Yooka Symonds.

Loving the 20th Anniversary videos. Part 3 out today. Loved the bit about Bonetti.
I have found a new respect for Ricky. Good to see he has mended his relationship with Robbo and the club.
Fitzy will always be a Rooster and no doubt will be back one day.

[Hawkeye]

Ricky must look back and remember thinking 20years ago "how easy is this coaching thing ....cracked a premiership at my first attempt" ...... he's since been through 3 more clubs and I'm pretty sure has not missed a year of coaching since and hasn't managed another ring since !

The club did the whole thing really well! I think it was enjoyed by all!

Crocker wasnt there on match day but he was in the photo the day before.
Perhaps the mystery man behind Ricko with white joggers ..... could be Skinny Burns ? He was there on match day but can't see him anywhere else in the photo ?
